Prof. Dr. David Bamman vom Berkeley AI Research Lab (BAIR) der University of California trägt am Dienstag, 17.06.2025, im Rahmen der CAIDAS AI-Talks im ZPD vor.

Movies are a massively popular and influential form of media, but their computational study at scale has largely been limited due to the availability of data. In this talk, I'll discuss our efforts to build a collection of 2,307 films representing the top 50 movies by U.S. box office over the period 1980 to 2022, along with award nominees. Building this collection allows us to carry out several large-scale computational studies of film; I'll discuss our work measuring changing patterns in the representation of gender and race/ethnicity over the past 43 years (where we see an increase in diversity over the past decade) and in leveraging it to model variation in emotional performances and choice of adverbial intensifiers over both narrative and historical time. This work illustrates a new frontier of the data-driven analysis of film at a large scale.
